The latest Canyons video is electric. Filmed on the Sydney's harbour beaches and spliced with cinema bits from all over, it's the handiwork of French directors Fleur and Manu. The song's a cracker too. - Nadia

Not sure why this little model lady looks so cross, because the new SS 12/13 collection of BLAK Luxe Luxe is so sweet and pretty it makes me want to smile and flirt a bit. Perhaps it has something to do with the rumoured 'switch-blade' patterning hidden in the floral prints. Owch. - Nadia

Everyone knows and loves Norwegian Wood's Angie Johnson for basically inventing the cage skirt but have you seen her Psych Out faux thigh highs?! I've only just discovered them and love the sneaky way she finally made a pair of thigh highs that won't fall down! (Not to mention the amazing fabrics she choses.) If I were you I'd grab them fast!

"Sounds like my dog." "What is dubstep? I've never heard of that." "I think he uses radios to make noises." "Is that what he looks like in real life?" "There's a bald bit there...it looks horrifying!""To make this song better, try to think more about the singing, and less with noises..."
Subtly beautiful pencils from One Fine Dae. Each pencil notes (bad pun) a summer event that must be had (though I wish I knew where I could find a drive-in theater).-Bob

Bet you didn't know that Pom Poms take their name from Pompons, a breed of Chrysanthemum. We sure didn't until we met Poms, the new range of wonderfully round and sightly soft jewellery by Melbourne-based designer Adriana Giuffrida. Poms are handmade using semi-precious stones with awesome names like Rhodonite, Amazonite, Labradorite, and Sodalite; sterling silver beads, and materials such as wool, bamboo, and silk. Just like no two Chrysanthemums are alike—Poms are one of a kind. Adriana currently makes rings and earrings, and is happy to customise pieces should a particular stone or color combination take your fancy. - Nadia

Shannon's favorite show was canceled and now she's witching out. What we learned from this episode: do not fux with Shannon and her shows.
Can't decide who is cuter here: Kindness's Adam Bainbridge, or Ramon, the kid he's teaching how to make dance music. Ok, whatever, it's a tie: They are both adorable. Kindness plays New York this Thursday, and Philly this Friday, and we hope Ramon's with them.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I flipped through the Mother Denim Wander 2012 lookbook, as they seem to be making every wearable piece possible. Literally every big denim style that exists, from mini-skirt to bell bottom and everything in between. I have no doubt they will be the new staple in a matter of weeks. X - Jen
